Mahdi ROM Kernel Tweaker & Battery Life Thread

I have a clean Mahdi ROM (the latest from like 1 week ago) and have the feeling that the battery drains slightly faster than in stock. Apart from other things I started trying different kernel tweaks and I discovered the following:

The governor, although showing explanations for a whole 7 different modes, only allows me to either pick "interactive" or "performance".

Since I never really need the CPU settings from interactive mode, I actually want to use conservative.

How can I realise that now?

Please feel free to post your battery life stats, I'm really curious.

Sidenote: I have "transparent weather clock" on my homescreen and it seems to need a lot of battery. Does anyone have a recommendation for a lightweight & goodlooking homescreen widget?

Ok, thanks for the info. I wondern why it only contains those two though.

I'd never use performance, interactive already provides more power than I need.

I'm just looking for a way to actually use the conservative mode.

The developer believes those to be the best choices, I have no clue why. Interactive mostly stays near the max freq & makes my phone uber hot like an oven. Feel free to use Render kernel, its in the general section.

I think this is pretty weird. I did not use the phone in that hour and had no apps running.

As illogical it might sound, my first suspect was the energy saving mode I enabled. I dont know why but I think it messed something up.

Do you have Render kernel? If yes which governor mode are you using?

I'm on the version from 6-28 and patch V6 which should be the latest?!
